Interviewee Ideas are Always Welcomed

We are still working on dates for a Singapore trend following conference. Also, if you have any suggestions for podcast guests, send them our way:

Mike, I would definitely be interested in learning more about Trend Following Conference in Asia dates, time and agenda. Also, I think a great guest would be Tom Dorsey from Dorsey Wright & Associates. He started his career as a stock broker with Merrill back in the early 70’s, ran an options dept then started his own company back in 1987. Tom has traveled the world and has met lots of great people and has incredible stories. His company provides guidance for advisers, institutions, hedge funds around the world. Based on Point & Figure applications and Relative Strength (all related to Trend Following).

Keep up the great work! Thanks for all of the inspiration!!

Matt N.

Thanks. I will email Tom and Singapore news to follow.

Singapore Trend Following Event

Feedback in:

Michael, I’m a corn farmer in NE Colorado. I really appreciate your blog and the interviews. You have created a great interest in SE Asia for me. I may come see you in Singapore for your seminar. I want to see [the] beautiful women on scooters!

Yes, I can understand. Corn farming is noble and perhaps lucrative, but you are right about beauty in that part of the world. More soon on Trend Following event in Singapore.

Behind the Curtain

I share many items for free on my websites. Unfortunately, there are some items that must remain behind closed doors:

Michael, first of all, thank you for all of your work. I appreciate your conviction and tireless effort. You referenced an Eckhardt audio speech in your podcast episode with Van Tharp. Would you be willing to share the speech with me? I would be very interested to hear the speech from Mr. Eckhardt. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Keep up the great work!

Thank you,
Jacob

Unfortunately I can’t share it. Wish I could.
